Texas Showdown 6
3/10/2006 - 3/12/2006
University of Houston
Houston, TX
Texas Showdown 5 was widely considered by many in the fighting game community to be one of the best tournaments ever. The event was the first partnership between fighting games and Major League Gaming. This was also the first time Japanese players were invited to Showdown, thanks to generous donations from our players. Another first was the inclusion of SBO qualifiers held at our event for the first time. Almost every tournament held broke a previous record for most attendants per event. In addition to the numbers from Smash Bros, Halo 2, and Tekken 5, the event broke all of our previous records by having over 1000 people in the venue. With a full complement players from both East and West coasts, all going head to head against the best Texas had to offer, made for a most memorable event which cumulated with our showcased final 8 on stage.
